Ad Inserter Free WordPress Plugin

Ad Inserter is one of the best and simple all in one free wordpress plugin for inserting Ads, Tracking codes in Header and Footer and more. A simple but powerful WordPress plugin that enables you to insert any HTML/Javascript/PHP code in posts or display it as a widget. It is perfect for displaying AdSense or Amazon ads at any position. You can put up to 16 ad blocks (64 in the Pro version).

For each block you can choose where and how it will be displayed: before selected post paragraph, before random post paragraph, before content, after content or as a widget. You can also select paragraph counting direction and float type. I wrote this plugin because none of the existing solutions had the options I wanted. On of the very powerful features of this plugin is the ability to insert post category or post tags into the ad code. This way you can create contextual ads where you have the ability to target specific category or products (e.g. Amazon Search Widget).

You can also test different versions of the same ad. Together with ad tracking this can be useful to find out which ad type performs best.

Installation is very simple. You can install it automatically from the WordPress Plugins administration page or manually by downloading and extracting ad-inserter folder and copying it to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory. Then you activate the plugin (through the ‘Plugins‘ menu in WordPress) and access Setting / Ad Inserter to configure it.

Block Name is the name of the code (ad) block. In the box below Block Name you can put any HTML/PHP/Javascript code. This code will be displayed according to the options below. You can also display different versions of an ad. You simply separate them with ||. Ad Inserter will randomly display one of the versions. This way you can, for example, display on one position AdSense ad unit with different formats or color combinations. If you are using custom channels you will be able to determine which combination performs best. You can also disable displaying advertisements in certain posts. You can either blacklist some url pattern or manually disable posts where there should be no ads. For detailed explanation on all Ad Inserter options check the plugin page. And if you need more than 16 code blocks or support via email there is also Ad Inserter Pro.
